For what it's worth, I get this after the other end has hung up because of
an idle timeout - for some reason pppd can't tell that the other end hung
up. For me, then, it's important to have those lcp echo requests (well,
only in so far as I'd like my machine to know whether or not it's
connected). I also sometimes get a "appear to have received our own
echo-request" error after the other end hangs up.
